The '''Fifty-first Dragoon Regiment''' was a part of the [[Hegemony Armed Forces]] and later the [[Star League Defense Force]].

==History==
When [[Ian Cameron]] declared himself [[Director-General of the Terran Hegemony|Director-General]] of the [[Terran Hegemony]], elements of the Fifty-first Dragoons mutinied. On 29 September [[2549]] they left their barracks and seized control of Geneva,<ref name=HRWp14>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 14</ref> particularly the Hegemony Congress, Palace of the Director-General, and several other government buildings.<ref>''The Star League'', p. 34</ref> This action (later known as the [[September Revolt]]) only lasted for ten days before forces loyal to the Director-General took control of the situation. The leaders of the mutiny, including members of the Fifty-first, were tried and sentenced. The unit as a whole, however, was spared destruction.<ref name=HRWp14/><ref>''Historical: Reunification War'', p. 48</ref>

In [[2764]], the unit was assigned, as a part of the [[XXI Corps (Star League)|XXI Corps]],<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 42</ref> [[1st Army (Star League)|First Army]], to the [[Terran Military Region]] and then transferred to District 1 of the [[Capellan Confederation Military Region]] by [[2765]], to take part in the [[New Vandenberg Uprising]].<ref name=SL140>''The Star League'', p. 140: "First"</ref> The Fifty-first was destroyed during the [[Hegemony Campaign]].<ref name=SL140/>
